Advantages: Great tating food for great prices.

Disadvantages: Service can be a bit too quick!! (although its better to be quick than slow!)

On the last day of my holiday my fiancee said he would take me out for dinner and only wanting a cheap pub meal we decended on Brewers Fayre. Our local one being the Guild in Bromsgrove.

When we arrived it was around 6:30pm there were a few people seated already eating but there was plenty of space and seats for use to choose from. Once we had found our seats we browsed over the menue that was situated on our table. On choosing our starter and mains my fiancee went and ordered at the bar, from this point our starter came after approximately 15 minutes! Before we had ordered a wqaiter came over to us to explain how Brewers Fayre's work: in ordering food at the bar. He also said that if there was anything we needed to just call him over and he would be happy to help!

For our starter we had the combo to share which cost £6.99, it consists of nachos, garlic cibattas, garlic mushrooms, scampi, chicken goujons and wedges, with salsa, mayonaise and BBQ sauce dips. The portion is fairly large and at a push could feed three, but is more suited to two. Once we had finished our starter the waiter quickly cleared our table and after 5 minutes our mains had arrived. This was efficient service but it was almost too effcient as I would have perhaps prefered to have waited a little longer to have chance to let my starter go down!

For mains my fiancee had smothered chicken (chicken covered in BBQ sauce, cheese and bacon, with chips), and I had half a chicken (chicken with BBQ sauce and chips). My fiancee's meal came with coleslaw which he does not like so on ordering asked if he could swap it for salad, which they did so. The smothered chicken cost £7.99 and the half a chicken cost £6.99. The portions were large and both of us left a few chips as we were too full! These meals were lovely in taste the BBQ sauce was tangy and a nice compliment to the chicken- I would definately choose these meals again!

Whilst we were eating our meals the waiter asked if we needed anything and if everything was okay with our meal. Again once we had finished our mains he cleared our table promptly.

We also had drinks with our meal, a larger shandy and a pint of pepsi, the pepsi seemed flat and did not have much of a taste too it, we explained this to the waiter who changed it for a fresh one without any hesitation. This has been the only problem I have experienced in all the times I have visited different Brewers Fayre restuarants.

Brewers Fayre states that their aim is:
'To serve our guests the nation's favourite pub food, at great value for money, in a family friendly environment.' This would seem to be the case as the restuarant has a comfortable atmosphere and the food is definately good value for money with great tastes!

Another bonus about Brewers Fayre is that they are a part of the Nectar scheme. You can collect 2 points for every £1 you spend on handing over your Nectar card!!

Summary: A great place to go for a tasty meal!
